I enjoyed that show very much. It also has a great final episode unlike many shows.I've started watching Travelers on Netflix. Trying to see if I can justify continuing with the subscription.
I guess I have that to watch also!Watched Season 2 of Vikings Valhalla over the weekend. Enjoyed it.
Last night, my wife and I watched Alfred Hitchcock’s Foreign Correspondent (1940), courtesy of Netflix and the Criterion Collection. I’d never seen it before and found it quite engaging. The titular correspondent in Joel McCrea, an American crime reporter sent to Europe because his editor is frustrated by the material he has been getting from his stringers there. McCrea is soon involved with plots involving a murdered (or is he) Dutch politician who is one of only two people who knows the secret clauses of particular treaty. There is also a too-swift to be believable romance with the daughter of the head of a Universal Peace Party, well-played by Larraine Day, and various stratagems masterminded by another reporter, played by George Sanders (who was the Saint in a series of movies decades before Roger Moore). Some familiar character actors fill other parts, like Ed Gwenn and Ian Wolfe (who was in everything but will always be Mr. Atoz from Star Trek:TOS to me). Robert Benchley, who wrote some of the dialogue, has a small role as well. The film moves rapidly—in a way, it feels like three movies rolled into one—and has some interesting settings, like an abandoned windmill in the Netherlands. Some action scenes late in the movie, which take place in a sinking ‘flying boat’ aircraft, are surprisingly thrilling.
The movie was also interesting for the way that it has to walk certain political lines. When it was made, the U.S. was officially neutral in the war and there were strong isolationist sentiments in the country. The villains are pretty clearly meant to be Nazi agents, but the movie never says this outright, and one of them is presented as somewhat honorable—fighting, albeit underhandedly, for his country and willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good. The film ends with McCrea’s character broadcasting from London during the Blitz, exhorting America to arm itself and ‘keep the light of civilization going,’ sentiments that might have appealed to both interventionists and isolationists.
Hitchcock also shows how restraint can be more effective than an explicit treatment. In one short scene, a character is tortured for information. We never view the process, only hear his screams and groans and see the horrified reaction of onlookers, including some that side with the torturers. It’s a much better way to handle this IMO than the outright scenes of torture one sees today.

Watched Creed III on Prime and while not as good as the first two it was still fun and certainly a lot better than any of the Rocky sequels (Rocky 3 and 4 are enjoyably bad films but the first is just a good 70s-style movie).
It's a roller coaster. I'll be interested to hear what you think.Finished Fubar on the way to work this morning. The way it ended explains the title of the show. Either it was meant to end that way as a one of show, or they will do another season, which will be radically different than the first season. And damn! I had no idea the bad guy was Gabriel Luna! He was all buffed out with muscles here, and his voice was deeper.
Dove into the Flash's last season. 3 episodes in and I'm hooked. I can't believe who the villain is!
What did you think? Still trying to find out of all of the positive buzz was overhyped BS or true.I just watched the première if The Flash.
Even won a t-shirt
This was an amazing show. Looking forward to the next (and last) two seasons.Amazon Prime
The time is purely a coincidence.
The Devil's Hour is incredible. Incredibly confusing and engaging. I so hope it's a mini series.
Only finished episode 1.
I'm on episode 8 right now. I think this season has been better than the last 2 or 3. Loved Red Death, and I've been pleased with the appearances of Batwoman and Dreamer on the show. I read episode synopsizes on wikipedia, so I know what's coming up, but that just made me more excited to see the rest of the season.It's a roller coaster. I'll be interested to hear what you think.
Glad that you liked it. The direction and writing has been off for me and Flash is backburnered too much IMO for this being the last season.I'm on episode 8 right now.

I really liked that Flashput together is own team of rogues. Also, glad to see Grodd back as well
I actually liked it better than the first one, and the pathos of the conflict definitely rivaled the second, though nostalgia put the second over the top.
I burned through most of the season last night, but had to get some sleep as I worked a 12 Tuesday. I'm on the finale right now, and just wow. Honestly, if this wasn't the best season of the series, if not top 3. Even the typical CW melodrama stuff was better written. I think Mark/Chillblaine's personal arc was one of the best parts of the season. A lot of characters had great story arcs, but Mark stood out to me. Cecile had a great one as well. Given this is the end of the Arrowverse, it thankfully went out on high note.Glad that you liked it.

The one with Arrow was good and the one after and it seemed to be building well for the last few episodes though
I like the horror movie The Descent a lot. Watched The Descent Part 2 last night. It was half-decent, butthe "twist" at the end makes the beginning nonsensical. If Ed is feeding humans to the crawlers, why didn't he feed Sarah to them at the beginning, rather than rescuing her and taking her to the hospital?
OK. I know this is a meme-thing, but the reason I'm posting this imgur link here is because I want to know what movie clip was posted in the comments.
You'll have to include the https and domain link. I can't get just the comment to work.
